Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation and understanding of your HTTMT Chrome Switch Housing Covers. These covers are designed to enhance the appearance of your motorcycle's handlebars by replacing the existing switch housing. Please read all instructions carefully before proceeding with installation.
Important Note: This is an aftermarket custom item and not an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part. While designed for specific models, modifications may be required for proper fitment. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct and safe application.
Product Overview
The HTTMT Chrome Switch Housing Covers are crafted from high-quality billet aluminum with a chrome finish, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing upgrade for your motorcycle. The set includes covers for both left and right handlebar switch housings.

Compatibility
These switch housing covers are designed to fit the following Honda Shadow motorcycle models:
- All Shadow VT 600 VLX models (without Choke on Left Handlebar)
- All Shadow VT 750 Spirit, ACE, and Aero models (without Choke on Left Handlebar)
- 2003-2009 Shadow VTX 1300 models
- 2010-2013 Shadow VT1300 models
Please verify your motorcycle's model and year, and specifically check for the presence of a choke on the left handlebar for VT 600 and VT 750 models, as these covers are not compatible with models featuring a left-side choke.
Installation Instructions
The HTTMT Chrome Switch Housing Covers are designed for direct bolt-on installation onto your motorcycle's existing switch housing. While the process is generally straightforward, no specific step-by-step instructions are included with the product. We strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified motorcycle technician to ensure proper fitment and functionality.
General Installation Guidance:
- Ensure the motorcycle is turned off and the battery is disconnected for safety.
- Carefully remove the existing switch housing covers from your handlebars. Note the orientation and placement of any internal components or wiring.
- Align the new HTTMT Chrome Switch Housing Covers with the existing switch housing.
- Secure the new covers using appropriate fasteners. Ensure all screws are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications (if available for your specific motorcycle model's switch housing) to prevent loosening during operation.
- Reconnect the battery and test all handlebar controls (lights, horn, turn signals, engine kill switch, etc.) to confirm proper operation before riding.
If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional motorcycle mechanic.

Maintenance
To maintain the chrome finish and integrity of your switch housing covers, regularly clean them with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the chrome plating. Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness to ensure the covers remain securely in place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with fitment or functionality after installation, first re-verify that the covers are correctly aligned and all fasteners are securely tightened. Ensure your motorcycle model is listed in the compatibility section and does not have a left-side choke if applicable. As this is an aftermarket part, some modification may be necessary. If problems persist, it is recommended to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic for assistance.
